Checking National Student Numbers and identity details (Roll returns)
You can check a student's NSN and identity details against the New Zealand Ministry of Education's ENROL database.
In the following example, a fictitious student Alise TestDOne is set up as a current student in Synergetic. We need to check that her NSN and student identity details are correct.
To check the student's NSN and identity details:
- Search for the student. See Searching for existing students in the Current students manual.
The Personal tab of the Current Student Maintenance window is displayed. - Check that the following fields are present and correct for the student:
• Surname
• Given
• Gender
• Date of Birth. - Click the NZMOE tab.
The NZMOE tab of the Current Student Maintenance window is displayed. - Click , if required.
If a successful connection is established, the following dialog window is displayed.
Note: If not successful, check the configuration. See SMS data exchange set up and configuration in the Roll returns manual. - Click .
One of the following dialog windows is displayed, based on whether:
• The NSN and identity data matches. No further action is required.
• The identity data matches except the NSN. The NSN is automatically updated to the new value and no further action is required.
• The field(s) specified are missing from step 2. Repeat from step 2.
• One of the fields from step 2 is incorrect. Repeat from step 2.
• The data is different between Synergetic and ENROL. See Updating student identity details in Synergetic (Roll returns), Updating student identity details in both Synergetic and ENROL programs (Roll returns).
